XI security concepts is a comparison between security concepts in BO5 or BO6 and in BOE Xir2. It also explains the challenges of the security migration and how the 360View Toolset will allow you to make en easier, faster, cheaper and safer migration.
Migration
Because Business Objects Xi has a complete new security model, you will have to redefine your current security model manually when migrating. Security is one of the top issues Business Objects legacy customers will have to cope with when migrating to the XI platform. Using 360View Toolset will allow you to make an easier, faster, cheaper and safer migration: first make a complete Audit and Cleaning of your existing environment, then generate Dynamic Xir2 security matrices of the rights and rights overloads you simply need to redefine under the CMC and the Designer.
The less you migrate (objects and rights) the faster and cheaper your migration and future administration will be. Cascaded cleaning is possible using functional audit.
360View dynamic Xir2 security matrices module: Security mapping 100% accurate.
Dynamic Xir2 security matrices will provide you all Xi groups and Xi folders. Then, all the rights and rights overloads simply needed to be redefined under the CMC between: Folders/Documents, Categories, Folders/Universes, Connections, Stored Procedures, Applications, Security commands and Universes overloads and Xi groups.
Using these Dynamic security matrices allow you to make a faster and safer security migration: no side effects after migration because your users haven’t got the same rights. Security comparison is possible using 360View Toolset and Security Viewer .csv file exports.
